Folks from The Scientist recently asked a group of science bloggers to recommend their three, must-read blogs to provide a guide to those who might not have been following the scientific blogosphere. Somehow I got selected to post my votes, a very challenging task to whittle down to three. However, it gave me a chance to recognize three bloggers who served among my inspiration for getting started myself and who continue to provide excellent, unique, and timely content.

The article went up today and readers are encouraged to add to the comments their favorite sciblogs. I was disappointed that no female bloggers were among those whose opinions were solicited originally – heck, not only am I a man but I’m an old man who’s been dead for 70 years.

Go over to The Scientist and register your faves – I’ve already learned of a few new ones that I’ll be putting on my blogroll.
